GS4DOUGIE, you havent' replied, you have 275/45/19 in the back? that's way out of spec right?
mr sypher, yours is just like the one i saw. if you look at the vertical look, , the tires comes out of the lip, but then curves in very fast. that i don't really like. on my car, the sidewall is vertical, and the almost right angle in
damn i don't have my car with me

Yeah I see what your saying guys... But to me it doesn't seem stretched.. I guess when I say stretched I mean stretched... Like a 255 on a 10" rim, now that's stretched... But also that look works well with bigs rims because it gives a look like the tires are thinner then they actually are... Which puts more emphasis on the wheels...

Spec?
Rom-
In order to answer your question, I need to know what spec is?? Frankly I have no idea-
I bought the rims and tires used from a CL member. With regard to rubbing issues I have none, but if they are in fact lager than recommended spec, I trust it would affect the speedometer right, plus overall ride height. Does anyone know to what degree the difference in the speedometer would be?
Happy with the set up none the less

well i know the spec for 19 is 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. some people go with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 fat setup, which is the same size with 20" and 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. the fat setup will have a better ride quality but when lowered sometimes it will rub. if you really have 275/45/19 in the back, then your speedo would be quite off i think. so when you see 80mph on speedo, watch out, you might be doing 85 already

Feelin' really stupid
Gents-
I owe you all an apoligy (sp). Guess what? After spendin the afternoon washin the rig and detailin the outside, I do in fact have the fat set up on my rears. Not the set up as posted previously. For Rom and sypher and bravo, here's is what I have on my 98 GS4 with stock suspension-
HRE 19" 543
F-245/35/19 on 8.5" Potenza SO3'S
R-275/35/19 on 10"
Nothin like feelin' like a total Moron

Sorry again for the confusion

Next set?
These tires are relatively new (3K) miles on them approx with buyer use and mine combined. So what is the suggested size for tires when I shop for replacements so I can be sure not to flounder? Same on the rear? Different size on the fronts?
What tire pressure are you runnin? My fronts seem to be wearin to quick on the outside, near the lip of the rim. I am runnin too low tire pressure or too high?
Thanks for your input-
